Welcome to the June edition of NDIS Commission News.
From 1 July, it will be mandatory for all supported independent living (SIL) providers and digital platform providers to register with the NDIS Commission. The new Rule is available on the NDIS Commission website. SIL providers will also be required to comply with new SIL Practice Standards. The article below has more information.
The Reform Hub provides all the latest information and updates on what you need to do as a SIL or NDIS digital platform provider. It also shares what you need to know as a participant who receives these NDIS services.
This is a milestone for the NDIS Commission. These reforms strengthen oversight and regulation of SIL and platform providers in response to emerging and longstanding quality, safety and integrity issues. They will enable the NDIS Commission to have greater visibility and control over who operates in the NDIS market. We want providers to meet clear and consistent standards so participants can feel confident about the supports they receive.
A reminder to providers required to do a mid-term audit as part of your registration requirements: please ensure your auditor submits the final report to us by the deadline.
Finally, remember you can forward this newsletter to anyone you know who would benefit from it, and encourage them to sign up online.
